Monday Morning Commute: Kick Grandpa’s Head Off!
“Oh snap! He just kicked off Grandpa’s fuckin’ head! Didja see that shit! Grandpa ain’t got no fuckin’ head anymore!”
Yeah, I guess you can say it was an eventful Fourth of July weekend at Casa de Los Brothers Omega.

But today is Monday, and as such we must embark upon the Monday Morning Commute! This is the spot where I show you all of the entertainment-junk I’ll crammin’ down my mind-mandible during the next few days. Then, you hit up the comments section and tell everyone what you’ll be feastin’ upon to get to the end of the workweek. Yes, it’s a bit like show-and-tell.
Except instead of kindy-gardners, the participants are the depraved Internet pirates clingin’ to the deck of Spaceship OL.
Okay, let’s do this!

NEIL GAIMAN and DAVE MCKEAN returning to ‘SANDMAN’ in October. Gnarly.
Friggin’ righteous. Come this October, Neil Gaiman, Dave McKean, and J.H. Williams III are handling the Sandman. The series will be a prequel to the One You’ve Probably Read, detailing the events that let up to the initial series. Oh, you could figure that out? ‘Cause that’s generally how prequels work? Fair enough, fair enough.
Hit the jump for more details.
DOPE AS SHIT: IMAGE selling its DIGITAL COMICS WITH NO DRM.
Holy Toldeo, Batman. Hot off of me lamenting the walled-in inaccessibility of digital comics just yesterday comes this news. Image is going to begin offering their digital comics as DRM-free PDF files. This is balls-out wank-worthy. Yep!
BRIAN K. VAUGHAN says DIGITAL DISTRIBUTION the best thing to happen to mainstream comics. Maybe.
I’m with Brian K. Vaughan in thinking that digital distribution may be the best thing to happen to mainstream comics. However, it may also have been what plunged me into comic book-ennui for the first half of this year.
GREG PAK and Aaron Kuder taking over ‘ACTION COMICS’ this November.
Greg Pak seems to be the go-to for the Super-Guy right now. The scribe is currently helming Batman & Superman: The Odd Couple, and this November he is going to be taking over Kal Kent’s flagship title. The good sir will be joined by Aaron Kuder, combining into the sort of interesting brew that may lure me back onto the comic’s jock. It seems so fuzzy. And welcoming.
DC ALL ANNOUNCING some CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE digital comics. 1990++
I was that fucking asshole who used to read the choose your own adventure books in a linear fashion. I kept fucking dying! It was horse shit. Despite growing up (a smidge), I’m not sure I won’t do whatever approximates the same behavior with these new DC digital comics that replicate the experience.
SUPERMAN’S 75TH ANNIVERSARY LOGO is A LOGO.
DC has got itself a logo for Super-guy’s 75th anniversary. The logo itself isn’t really wonderful, but hey. At least it isn’t so garish that it makes my eyes bleed.
COPY OF ‘ACTION COMICS’ #1 found in the F**KING WALL OF OLD HOUSE. Worth more than said house.
This is a hell of a tale. A copy of Action Comics #1 was found in an old as fuck house, is worth more than the house, and was partially destroyed by in-laws. This one has it all folks.
Nebraska library refuses to PULL ‘BATMAN: THE KILLING JOKE.’ Hell yeah.
Yeah library in Nebraska, there you go! Said library has refused to pull Batman: The Killing Joke from its shelves, after a complaint was lodged against the comic book’s content.
Petition wants EDMONTON to BUILD A WOLVERINE STATUE. I say why not.
There is a petition going around that is asking Edmonton to build a Wolverine status. Specifically, a 1,000 foot tall one. Me? I say why the fuck not. Lord knows walking around my campus I come across more ludicrous works of modern art. Sure they probably didn’t cost as much as this one will. Sure! But this is Wolverine. The Wolverine.
